<p>Oh ok.
Good thing this wasn’t my daughters school.

<p>Not only was this girl dresses appropriately, how funny was it to call out another student by name and show her dress that was more inappropriate?</p>
<p>The other girl is a good friend and wanted her picture published standing next to her friend as a comparison. I live about 2 blocks from the family and know them and their kids fairly well. The kids are nice, respectful, well behaved but somewhat free-spirited. This clashes with the dictatorial style of the new principal, and she was absolutely being singled out.</p>
<p>The new principal and the new DARE officer have not been a good change for the school. The kids loved their old principal but he was moved to one of the high schools.</p>
<p>If this dress is inappropriate, then my youngest should be expelled for wearing his wrestling singlet.</p>
<p>I thought both dresses were fine, and I really hate when administraotrs abouse their power.</p>
<p>What exactly was the reason for the dress being inappropriate? Was it too tight? Was it low in the back or something? Was she not wearing the little shoulder covering?</p>
<p>That dress looks like what all the girls are wearing these days. It was longer than the others shown and actually looked live a very nice dress.</p>
<p>The tightness is “revealing” according to the principal. Tightness, by the way, is not part of the dress code, which is why the girl was surprised by the punishment.</p>
<p>Absolutely ridiculous. It boggles my mind when I read stories like this.</p>
<p>I showed the video to Mr B, who is known for his conservative views of fashion when it comes to his kids, and he agreed with me that the dress was perfectly appropriate for the function. I think Magnetron is right - the principal probably had her own agenda.</p>
<p>As if Middle School wasn’t stressful enough.</p>
<p>I thought the dress was lovely and loved the little gold shrug she had on with it. Having seen the pictures of some of the other dresses which were just as tight and way way shorter, it does seem that the girl was singled out for some reason.</p>
<p>Sounds like the crazed A.P. in San Diego who conducted a “thong check” before one of the dances. </p>
<p>If the dress met the criteria – and it certainly seems to have – the principal was out of line. Singling her out, and letting other girls wear even shorter dresses just adds to the picture of a dumb, dumb principal.</p>
<p>Power-crazed prinicpals and over-zealous security guards all need immediate pink slips! When will adults grow up and leave their neurotic behavior out of school??</p>
<p>And people wonder why some choose to homeschool. Idiotic school administrators are certainly one reason. </p>
<p>I do hope that the media presses this story. It really highlights an out of control principal who clearly had some agenda that night.</p>
<p>I really liked the dress. I thought it looked rather classic compared to the prom dresses of a few years ago when girls were almost falling out of them. Power hungry principal. I hope the school board is more on the ball.</p>
<p>The principal should have offered to meet with the parent the next day. No wonder the parent was frustrated.</p>

<p>That dress would have been fine at my HS dances …BUT…there would have been a “spanks” check. We signed a dance contract and knew we would have to show the spanks. Why? Well I am sure you parents are aware of how kids dance these days (ask your kids if you don’t) and that kids “grind”. There’s a mob of kids on the dance floor and girls in the middle let their dresses ride up past their underwear. The guys like this a lot! A thong makes it even nastier! There are chaperones with flashlights that actually move through the mob to check for this! It still happens. If you were to show up at the dance with a short dress (like the one the girl had on) and no spanks, you would not be let in. </p>
<p>You all shouldn’t be so naive as to what happens at dances. Like I said, ask your kids.</p>
<p>Administrators who come down hard on alleged dress code violations at dances almost always end up looking ridiculous. If there is any hope for a dress code, the standard must be concrete - e.g. no strapless, no cut outs, etc. When an adult male looks at one young girl and says “indecent” and at another with a similar dress and says “fine”, isn’t he confessing that he thinks that the first girl looks really hot in the dress? (Ewww.)</p>
<p>The thing with subjective standards such as “indecent” or “revealing” is that the girls built like Gumby can get by with a lot, and the girl who is generousof booty or bust gets sent home.</p>
<p>I don’t think that dress was short. When I attended school in the same district, one of my favorites dresses barely covered my assets when I was standing up. (it was a little Betsy Johnson cotton number, and while it had a fuller skirt than the dresses sold nowadays, it was very form fitting through the torso.)</p>
<p>I’ve chaperoned on several senior graduation parties & dances for an inner city high school, not really naive.;)</p>
<p>I wonder if she had that sweater on. These are middle school girls and that dress was inappropriate for a middle school girl without the sweater. it was revealing…too revealing in my opinion for middle schools girls. The “friend’s” dress appears to have sleeves. Clearly it was not ‘tightness’ because the friends dress was also pretty tight but I wonder because the leopard print dress was also strapless and sleeveless and equaling revealing. If anything it highlights what our young girls are wearing these days. Good thing I didn’t have daughters because i would not have let a daughter wear that type of dress in middle school, the sweater helped, but the question in my mind is did she have it on.</p>
<p>If wearing the shrug over her dress makes a difference, why not have her wear that instead of a coat?</p>
